Up - My new Quilt

Finally, I bought the Flea Market Fancy Collection by Denise Schimidt.It took awhile, but I bought it.Ah, such a beautiful thing! How is it possible to find the power to cut such a grand treasure?

I thought, “if it has to be cut, it will only be a little.”There’s no chance that I will make big mean pieces that will destroy my whole beautiful collection.No, I don’t accept this!Ah, but a collection like this deserves a quilt!A quilt is a good idea. I will cut only a little, together with the white and it’s made! Ready! I found the solution to my problem. Choosing an economical block was the rule of the game!I worked with Half Square Triangles and constructed this quilt in a few days.A little fabric, but a big result! ;DThe excitement was so strong that as a result, the joyous colorful quilt was exactly what the collection deserved.

For the lining, I chose thin green stripes. Look how cool the quilting is with fabric.Making
the quilt was very simple, straight lines all around. What I thought
was super cool was that the quilting valued the top triangles and in the
lining, it formed this design that gained more power with the stripes!
;D

Ah, the binding I chose is this really pretty plaid from Fernando Maluhy. The fabric is printed this way to form a bias pattern.I didn’t need to cut the strips in the binding to have this effect that I liked so much!!!! =)

The
quilt only brought me happiness, because beyond having stayed so
pretty, it didn’t cost me much fabric from my collection! =D“Up” is already available in my Etsy Shop.
